Travel Potty?

How necessary is this? I'm thinking we will get one as ds is kind of showing interest... He pooped on the potty again today but dh and I weren't there and I think grandma botched the pomp and circumstance. But do those little bags for the travel potty fit about any potty? Can it just be A little one we keep in the car or does it have to specifically be a "travel" one? We've got the 2 kids, ages 3 and 1, really if we can get one for about $20 and it saves us at least a couple times I think we will be pleased. Any tips though? Did you just take a seat and throw it on the public toilet? I think that between the flushing and electric hand dryers it's got a lot of room to go wrong and give him anxiety.

I have one like cherben4. It has been great when I've had the two kids with me and no ability to take DS to the toilet (eg we were minding some people things at a picnic and couldn't leave to go to the toilet) or there was no toilet but I didn't feel it was appropriate for DS to just pee on the ground.

But I don't use it on public toilets. I'll just wipe the seat down and help hold him up while he goes. It did take a while before DS was comfortable to pee in the public restroom though!

I have the kind you fits over the seat and folds back up to about the size...

I had this one as well...it fits well in many shape of toilet seat and it is very stable (some are so flimsy that DS and I got nervous that he will fall in). DS is not very interested yet but I got this for travel to stay with my family during a short trip...it works well!

I just keep a regular potty in the car for times when there is not a toilet around (soccer games, playgrounds, etc...). For public toilets, I had the fold up travel seats with ODD, but never used them and I find them kind of gross to put on a toilet, then put back in the bag. If you are going to take the time to sanitize it before putting it back in the bag, then it wouldn't be any more difficult to just sanitize the public toilet seat that your child will be using. I keep a mini bottle of lysol spray in my purse and spray and wipe public toilets before any of us use them.

I have one like this. Although my DD is potty trained it has worked out well...

I have one like this. Although my DD is potty trained it has worked out well when out where there is no bathroom or when traveling. It also fits on toilet seat. Just make sure to have hand sanitizer.

What is this one called? I found the replacement bags at walmart for a travel potty but they didn't have the potty itself. I was wondering if I could use the bags on a different pot. I was thinking it'd be fine to just get whatever one, travel or not, if I could find the liner bags that would work.

because it comes with its own carrying case, and uses diapers instead of a bag to absorb the potty. I would use it in my car when my son was scared of public bathrooms/toilets (the noises and the big toilet itself)

That is a good one....esp only for #1....
